Ok you asked for it, Now I'm gonna give it to you... nope, not a smack..
The chatterbox.
Here's a fun little chatterbox that shows how to do client-server chat. not yet implemented for multiple client yet, but a "pass-through" the server can easily be done.. anyway, here it is.
You first run the server on your machine (preferably in a window)
then you run the client on the same machine (windowed so you can see both)
Then you just go ahead and talk to yourself, and because it's technology, no one will think you are silly.
One zip file contains both the compiled client and server
Another zip file contains the un-compiled projects for client and server
When using it in the editor, make sure to set the text size to 0.5, 0.5, as shown in the image.
Notes:
1.. Change the IP address in the client project to talk to another machine on the network.
2.. The projects crash when you close them, because I have not tidied up the disconnection part.. but i'll leave that to you
